Federal Contracting and Cybersecurity - What Institutions of Higher Education Need to Know

Webinar | 03.03.16, 9:00 AM EST - 10:30 AM EST

Higher education institutions frequently act as government contractors, performing research and development under federal grants, cooperative agreements, and traditional contracts. Doing so opens up a wide range of opportunities for these institutions, but it also comes with complex regulatory requirements that can be difficult to manage. One area in which these challenges have become increasingly apparent is cybersecurity and privacy risk management. Doing business with the federal government means adopting a patchwork of cyber requirements that often vary across agencies and evolve over time. This webinar will help guide higher education institutions through this patchwork by providing an introduction into what some of those key agency requirements are and how higher education can get one step ahead of this ever-changing environment.

Key Topics Covered:

  • DoD Contracts
  • Classified Contracts
  • Federally Funded R&D Centers
  • Grants Case Study: HHS and NIH
  • Cyber Risk Management

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
